Friday Five!

And now, time for today's Friday Five!

1. What's the last vivid dream that you remember having? The last one I can really remember took place at this strange casio/theme park. There was a huge window (as big as an IMAX screen) that looked out into a lake so you could see all the fish. The lake was filled with sharks and there was a wrecked boat. Other stuff happened, but the setting was so vivid.

2. Do you have any recurring dreams? For some reason, when I was a kid, I used to dream that I was at the Montgomery Ward's in Greenspoint Mall. We were in the garden area and they had all of these giant above-ground pools set up. In the pools were sharks. I used to dream that I was walking around the edge of the water and was afraid that I was going to fall in and get eaten. I'd never even seen Jaws, so I'm not sure where this dream came from. I still dream about sharks, in several different settings. I also dream about being back in college and having a test that I have to pass to graduate and I'd never been to the class (as was true of lots of my college classes). Another recurring dream is that I'm back in band camp where I marched the bass drum.

3. What's the scariest nightmare you've ever had? In July of 1998, I came home from work and took a nap. I dreamed that I was at this giant mall with these escalators that went up like twenty floors. I was going up them with a co-worker, Mary Ann, when suddenly we noticed that all the people around us were crouching down and covering their heads. We looked up and above us was a guy with a gun. People were sitting at his feet crying and looking scared. He looked down at us and pointed the gun at me and told me to come to him. I climbed up towards him and the gun was so real. The part that frightened me the most is that I looked over to my left and one of the cops looked away from me and started to cry because he knew that I was going to die. Steven and I had been dating for a little over six months at that time and we hadn't said "I love you" to each other. I started thinking that I was going to die without him knowing how much I loved him. When I got up to him, I woke up sobbing.

4. Have you ever written your dreams down or considered it? Why or why not? I never have, though I have thought about it. Usually I remember my dreams very vividly, so I never feel the need to write them down. Plus, I am always in a hurry in the mornings when they're freshest, so I never can write them down.

5. Have you ever had a lucid dream? What did you do in it? I've talked about this with friends before, so I'm pretty sure I have, but I can't remember what the dream was about.
